The latest film of Shahid Kapoor, Kabir Singh is creating
quite a buzz after its release date. The romantic drama with earning Rs 20.21
crore on the first day becomes the biggest opener in the career of Shahid
Kapoor and Kiara Advani. Across the country, the movie was released in a total
of 3123 screens. The movie Kabir Singh just like the original blockbuster movie
Arjun Reddy was unstoppable. The success of the movie is almost unbelievable
since it was not released on holiday but surprisingly it came out during the
Cricket World Cup. Trade Analyst Tarun Adarsh even mentioned that despite the
nerve-racking match between India Vs Afghanistan, the movie manages to score in
its first weekend. He even called the film to be ‘unstoppable and unshakeable’.

Kabir Singh on Saturday despite the nerve-wracking match
between India Vs Afghanistan had successfully made it to the amount of 22.71
crores and on Sunday there was a further jump with the amount of Rs 25.88.
Kabir Singh after 3 days made a total collection of 68.80 crores at the
domestic box office with 3123 screens. Presently, Kabir Singh is being
considered to be the fourth largest Hindi opener at the box office this year.

It is almost surprising to see how the film even being A
rated and staying parallel with the cricket world cup had managed to divert all
the audiences to itself. Kabir Singh helmed by Randeep Reddy vanga who had also
made the original has managed to flock the audience in front of the theatres
just like the original one.

According to the report of the BOI, there is a possibility
that after the original number comes in, the film might register itself to be
the biggest Sunday figures of 2019 beating Salman Kahn’s recent blockbuster
Bharat. However, the film had received quite a lot harsh reviews on the
character Kabir Singh played by Shahid Kapoor who seemed to be celebrating
toxic masculinity and encouraging poor treatment of women. But there’s no
denying that the front of the theatre has been flocked by the audience to watch
Kabir Singh. Ananya Bhattacharya, as a reviewer in India Today, has marked the
film by giving it 1.5 stars out of 5 and pointed out while she wrote, “Misogyny
is not cool. Neither is Kabir Singh.” She wrote further in her review,
“Kabir Singh the film is the same film as Arjun Reddy. It is the same
story, the same dialogue, the same character, the same. So if you have seen
Arjun Reddy, you would know that Shahid Kapoor is merely play-acting, trying to
do a Vijay Deverakonda. Shahid tries so hard to be Vijay Deverakonda that Kabir
Singh loses himself after the first few scenes. So what did Sandeep Reddy Vanga
and this entire cast and crew do with Kabir Singh? That’s a question we don’t
yet have an answer to.”
